The Kingdom of Love

In the beginning God …
and God is Love.
Any project of His projects
based thereof.

Creation, covenants,
His Son Jesus Christ,
A Kingdom Family
for whom He Sacrificed.

Darkness and Light,
only one is right.
The free choice is there
for Love to be fair.

Jesus, the Source of Love,
available, from above.
For anyone who wants it
shall receive through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus, The Bread of Life.
Worth to believe.
Worth to hunger
in order to receive.

Yes, hunger!
Hunger is a must.
Ever fed a stomach, without any lust?
Completely full, one ready to bust?

Feed it and nausea will excel.
So only a hungry stomach
is a stomach that feeds well.

The depths of my hunger
for God’s love and its root
is expressed in the intentionality
and the intensity of my pursuit.

A pursuit for His Love,
a constant direction,
pushed by my intention, attention
and devotional affection.

So I shall push! Push!
Pursue for His Love with hunger and thirst!
But beforehand I need to know
in what direction I was going first.

I should know the past season
before I enter the new one.
And I may even have to let go of something
before I get the next season done.

I go into a place of surrender.
A place with soaking and silence in solitude.
Let the fire of God’s Love preheat the oil
to prepare my spiritual food.

Then this place becomes a purifying place
where the fire of God’s Love cleanses.
New investments will replace
regret, guilt among other old expenses.

That’s how fire and burning oil get created
in the secret place with just me and Jesus Christ.
The fire for the next awakening is related
to the areas of my life I have sacrificed.

He’ll cleans what isn’t with His Love arranged.
So that shame, fear and failure
among old identities get exchanged.

The safest place that I could be
to break those chains within my old identity
in prayer and in Jesus’s name.
Exchange them and I won’t be the same.

What overwhelms me, shapes me,
so let this Divine exchange overwhelm.
So that it may shape me into a new person.
Then I can enter this new realm:

The Kingdom of God with The Kingdom family
that’s having big and small projects excel.
Let’s not compete but complete one another!
So I should invest my time, treasure and my talent well.

When invested those things into the right things,
oil of intimacy is what I will receive.
That intimacy is a relationship,
which means I get an A+ before I achieve!

I want to discover that new identity.
But first I would have to discover the identity of God.
I could only do that with humility,
so I can see Jesus and I’ll be awed.

I shouldn’t ask myself who I am, but the One.
Because small chance I guess it right.
Only He knows how I am undone.
Because He knows me from the inside and outside

Creating my own recognition,
significance and purpose
will deviate from the One
who knows me deeper than just the surface.

So from Him I should know and receive my identity
because that precedes my destiny.
Only when it looks like Jesus
I’ll have the truth which sets me free.

Then I find similarity and intimacy
along with oil that keeps my passion burning.
My passion for what God is doing,
because that’s all I’d like to be learning.

I would be rather learning experience
than knowledge of theology.
Otherwise I will get a tendency
to live by a religious epistemology.

When I look at Jesus with my mind,
I will see the world with my mind.
When I Look at Jesus with my heart,
I will see the world with my heart.

So focussing with my heart
is where I should start.
I should make that place holy,
which means I should set that place apart.

There I let myself be inspired by Jesus,
because I want to see the world with and through love.
But I will have to receive what’s necessary
through the Holy Spirit, from above.

I should beware of familiarity and passivity!
Because those quench the Fire of The Holy Spirits activity.
I should be overwhelmed and seek close distance
and save and take time to enjoy Gods existence.

I could only bother
that there will be an overflow of Love
between me and my Father.
To light up the dark places this world consists of.

That’s why I cry out for identity
and cry out for recognition.
That’s why I cry out for purpose
and cry out for a divine mission.

And when I cry out for significance,
He comforts me like a Lamb.
He protects me like a Lion
and He will guide me through His plan.

So when I am Inspired by the identity
of the Lion or the Lamb,
I stand before God
and cry out: ‘Here I am.’
